Chocolate Glazed Chocolate Chip Scones


Melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip scones. Tender and moist inside with a slight crunch on the edges, these are perfect!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate soda and salt. Add the butter and, using two knives, cut it in until the mixture forms small crumbs. Add the chocolate chips and toss to combine. Make a well in the center of the mixture. In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk , egg, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture and, using a fork, gently stir until incorporated (do not over mix). Bring the dough together into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into an 6-inch round (about 1 inch thick). Cut into 8 wedges, separate, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of the scones with milk . Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the scones cool until still a bit warm or room temperature (too hot and the glaze will melt right off). Drizzle the chocolate glaze evenly over the scones.

Chocolate glaze

4 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons milk or water
2 teaspoons vanilla

Sift together the sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Slowly stir in the milk and vanilla, a little at a time, to make a smooth, pourable glaze.

125g (3/4 cup+1 1/4 tablespoons) potato starch (preferred) or cornstarch

Divide the dough into 2 rounds. Use your palms to shape them into small balls. To make the pattern on the cookies, use a fork and press gently onto the top of the round cookies. Dip the fork in water after each press to prevent the cookie dough from sticking to the fork. Place baking sheet in the bottom part of the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cookies turn very slight brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Dust some powdered sugar over cookies before serving.

Butter Icing :

Blooming Onion And Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

Blooming Onion:

1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large sweet onion
3/4 cup vegetable oil for frying

Dipping Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chilli sauce
1/3 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch ground black pepper
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

To make sauce: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, chilly sauce,1/3 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon oregano, a dash ground black pepper and cayenne pepper; mix well. Keep sauce covered in refrigerator until needed.
To make the batter: In a medium bowl, beat egg and add milk. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, ground black pepper, oregano, thyme and cumin; mix.
To slice onion: slice 1 inch off of the top and bottom of the onion and remove the papery skin. Use a thin knife to cut a 1 inch diameter core out of the middle of the onion. Now use a very sharp, large knife to slice the onion several times down the center to create 'petals': First slice through the center of the onion to about three-fourths of the way down. Turn the onion 90 degrees and slice it again in an X across the first slice. Keep slicing the sections in half, very carefully until the onion has been cut 16 times. Do not cut down to the bottom of the onion. (The last 8 slices will be difficult, be careful).
Spread the 'petals' of the onion apart. To help keep them separate you could plunge the onion into boiling water for 1 minute and then into cold water.
Dip the onion into the milk mixture and then coat it liberally with the flour mixture. Again separate the petals and sprinkle the dry coating between them. Once you're sure the onion is well-coated, dip it back into the wet mixture and into the dry coating again. This double-dipping ensures you have a well-coated onion because some of the coating will wash off when you fry the onion.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Make sure you use enough oil to completely cover the onion when it fries.
Fry the onion right side up in the oil for 10 minutes or until it turns brown. When the onion has browned, remove it from the oil and let it drain on a rack or paper towels. Open the onion wider from the center so that you can put a small dish of the dipping sauce in the center or just put at the side.
